The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said that the British debate on the departure of the European Union "tears the country".
Trump said he was "surprised at the seriousness" of the negotiations. The US president, who considers himself a master negotiator, said he had advised British Prime Minister Theresa May, but that she had not listened to him.
He said the two sides are very "stuck" and described the situation as "difficult situation" and "shame".
Thursday, the British Parliament voted in favor of postponing the departure of the United Kingdom from the EU, which was to take place on March 29.
Trump's comments were made when he hosted Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar at the White House for an early celebration of St. Patrick's Day.
Leaders met in the Oval Office before being greeted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Capitol Hill for the annual "Friends of Ireland" luncheon.
Trump 's visit to Capitol Hill took place a few hours before the Senate, under Republican control, voted in favor of inverting the Republican President' s state of national emergency, which he called the he had said last month to release money in order to build his promise for a wall crossing the US-Mexico border.
The Democrats-led House, led by Pelosi, voted last month to block the declaration.
Trump added that he was opposed to another referendum on Brexit, saying it would be "unfair" for those who won in 2016.
He added that his administration "looks forward to negotiating a large-scale trade deal with the UK" as the country continues to try to separate from the European Union.
My administration is looking forward to negotiating a large-scale trade deal with the United Kingdom. The potential is unlimited!
